I have had the same issue with these and find that I can basically only put things that don't "spill" in there. You have to gently close them and the lids tend to stay on, but they are NOT leakproof. Any runny thing like salad dressing spills.

These are not screw on lids, they are more pressure locks. When screwing on just tighten slowly until you feel it getting snug, you'll feel the lid snap or click to a position. That's as far as you need to tighten, the seal will do the rest of the work.

The most common cause closing issues is that the silicone seals are inserted upside down. There is a lip on one side of the silicone seal. That side should be facing OUT when inserted. Also make sure the seal is pushed flat into its channel.

The lunchBots are defective in design. They should be taken off the market. We returned them for a refund. Horrible.

I use a butter knife and wedge it under the edge of the lid and then try sliding it across so that I can pry it off. Sometimes it's easier to pry open when it's not overfilled. Good luck! Hope this helps.

The top also has cardboard and the lid comes off a little to easy. I am still trying to figure out how to keep it latched shut.

If the little brown clips are pushed outward, that locks the lid. Push them toward the middle to release. I never lock mine because the lid fits into grooves and won't fall off. They turn the lid counter clockwise to release it. It should then just lift right up.

There is a button on top you press to release the locking lever. Once you press the button, simply lift the lever up and remove the lid. The lids are designed to seal very well and can be more difficult to remove than a lid on a blender.

Take an equally small flat head screwdriver and pop the lid with it by putting it under the edge (just a little) closest to the middle (same side as the screw hole). I just tried it, as it has been quite a while. I had to gently 'pop' it in two spots on that edge.

YES, I CALLED !!! Place 2 of the flat lids on till sealed then remove the top one and you will have a tight seal.I wanted it for that reason, and was down to the last ok to buy it She I saw your question and the answers you were getting. I STOPPED RIGHT THERE, AND CALLED. I have bought mine.

Alright I nearly broke the lid trying to press the tabs and yank at the same time, after scratching it up with a butter knife. Here's what worked for me: There is a circle on the bottom of the lid, with tabs on opposite sides, and 4 small arrows that show how to align the lid when you go to put it back together.. Press ON the middle of the white circle, while applying pressure to the tabs with your fingers and pull. The middle part of the circle stays attached to the top of the lid, the rest of it comes off. I used the knuckle of my index finger to press on the circle, then just lightly squeezed the sides where the tabs are with thumb and middle finger. Voila, lid came right off.

Yes it's a bit tricky but it comes out you dry it all off and it goes back together. I try to not wash the lids if I can. Good luck!

I found it easier to take the lid apart once I realized I need to pull the top off, not try to pry the bottom. I'm talking about the very top part of the lid. Just pop it from the rest. Once my husband showed me, I had to laugh at how frustrated I had been trying to get it apart. Good luck.

Use a piece of foil or parchment paper secured with a wide rubber band to hold it tight. They don't make lids for the canister, unfortunately.

Yes, the lids do come off. They just sort off pop on and off. There is a rubber ring on each jar to help keep the lids on. If you just open them that way you will probably be better off. Once you open the pop up and pour part of the lid they become a huge hassle. Best advice is to just take the entire lid off each time.

Ah... :)You take a screwdriver that fits the screw and unscrew it as you would usually do (anti-clockwise).After a couple of turns it seems like the screw no longer holds the cover (the lid got a bit separated from the body), but it still won't come off, does it? :)Well, at this point you need to insert something thin (your fingernail?) in the crack between the cover and the body and just pull.Try pulling not from the center, but a bit closer to one of the edges - the cover latches to the body near the edges...

Yes, but it's tricky and you need to figure out how to do it so the lid will close correctly.

You have to pull it off, but it's not hard. The lid stays on securely, though, and wouldn't come off without a little help (pulling).

I have three sets of these and on two sets the lids are not easily removable, and I am sure they were made to not be removed. When refilling I start on one side of the system and refill the entire week, spin them around and finish the rest. The one set that the lids come off easily, it is more of a nuisance as when you replace the lid..was this am or pm side?? The boxes spin so easily it easy to lose track of what side or what divider is what time slot. With the fixed lid system you have no question what time slot you are filling and all four lids can be lifted at once and filled at once.
